\"nfc<\/a>The mild & sunny weather doesn’t give you a hint, but winter approaches and with it also some German culinary traditions like eating goose on Martin’s day.<\/p>\n

Josef, our resident Dutch cook, planned a goose dinner at the Domtal Golf course in Mommenheim for us, kindly paying special attention that I was able to attend it, as I am leaving for Havana in 3 days time.<\/p>\n

Again we had friends from all over Germany attending the dinner, a difficult task with the roads being chocked due to the railway strike.<\/p>\n

Ute aka Perla gave me some vintage La Corona sticks to take to Havana and smoke with Keith on the fishing boat.<\/p>\n

I was happy to see Michel aka Johnny D. again who came up from Switzerland and brought me a Salomones rolled by Alejandro, the new roller at the Comodoro hotel in Havana – I’ve only heard good things about him.<\/p>\n

Goose was fantastic, crisp skin, tender meat, yummy Kn\u00f6del, red cabbage – hit the spot.<\/p>\n

Jupp, Josef and Andreas were applauded for their hospitality and organizing skills and Jupp passed around a Croatian herb bitter that melted the goose fat.<\/p>\n

I had suggested we finish the night at the Irish pub in the village and that’s where we ended up with the village youth in a still Halloween decorated locale.<\/p>\n

I smoked an Arturo Fuente Las Vegas Lancero ( only available at A. Fuente in Las Vegas ) gifted to me earlier this year in Dublin by Vinny C. that blew my socks off – great cigar, absolutely fantastic.<\/p>\n

Next day I picked up Michel and we drove to the Lufthansa base at the airport where I showed him around the Flight Ops centre and crew wing and where we smoked a half Corona.<\/p>\n

Then a stroll through Frankfurt in the sun showing Michel the sights before having a solid and tasty lunch at one’s of Sachsenhausen’s best traditional eateries.<\/p>\n

What better way to end his visit than smoking a ’98 Fundadores together in my local Cafe ….<\/p>\n
